Hi Chris, I've just turned up the 2004 message from you, quoted below, which asks for info that might identifiy a Mary Johnson who died in Antigua in 1722. A descendant of the US branch of my Irish family has just come up with (via Robert above) a transcription of the will of William Irish (about 1692 - about 1724 by my reckoning). Unfortunately this transcription is unsourced and dated 29th October 1729 alongside the signature. Yet his widow is said to have re-married Colonel Samuel Martin 1 May 1728 and; Somewhere some years ago I found (I would have said on the Antigua film project pages but I cannot now find it there) a snippet of a report published January 1725 (or was it really 24 or 26!) of the death of the said William Irish. I thought the correct transcription of the date of that will might have been 1724 instead of 1729. However if it instead had been 1719 this will might have identified Mary Johnson for you. =========================================== "I give and bequeath unto my daughter, Sarah Irish, the sum of one thousand pounds sterling, money of Great Britain, to be laid out with all convenient speed upon interest, in some of ye public funds of Great Britain. And my will is that ye yearly interest of ye said sum be laid out in the same manner for the use of my daughter until she attains the age of twenty years, and then the sum and interest be paid her. I give unto my brother, Nathaniel Irish, the sum of five hundred pounds of Great Britain, to be paid him one year after my decease. I give unto my dear wife, Sarah Irish, ye yearly sum of one hundred pounds sterling of Great Britain during her natural life. I also give her any two of my horses she shall make a choice of, and the use and labor of four negroes during her life, viz: George, Kitty, Lucy and Pide. But my will is that these legacies and bequeaths unto my wife be in lieu and full bar of her dower. I give and bequeath unto the poor of this Island the sum of twenty pounds of money of the Island for twenty years after my death. But my will is that if the Island of Montserrat be taken or invaded by any enemy of ye Crown of Great Britain before my daughter shall attain the age of twenty years, and my estate, real or personal, be taken, burnt, plundered, carried away or destroyed by such enemy, that the legacies be lessened, moderated and apportioned as my executors may direct. I give unto my brother-in-law, William Johnson, and my sister, Mary, his wife, and to my brother-in-law, Thomas Lee, and my sister Elizabeth, his wife, and to the executors of this will, a suit of mourning apiece. All the rest and residue of my estate I give to my son, William Irish, and his heirs forever. I nominate and appoint my father-in-law, George Clyke, and my brother- in-law, Thomas Lee, and my friend, Dominick Trant, executors of my last will, and to each give the sum of fifty pounds sterling to buy them a mourning ring." =========================================== Might this will have come from Caribbeana? There are some curious things (YE public funds); the father-in-law surname should be WYKE and George his Brother-in-law. Father-in-law was Edward wherever reported. Maybe the source is not Caribbeana or there were printing errors when this was privately re-published in, I think, 1961, What do you think? Cheers David From: "C.M.Codrington" <[email protected]> Subject: [CARIBBEAN] Surname Interest and Caribbeana Date: Sat, 10 Jan 2004 08:01:24 -0500 Family Bible notes the death of a "Mary Johnson" May 30,1722 on Antigua, very likely in the parish of St. John or St. Mary. Olivers' History of Antigua provides very little on the various Johnson families resident on the island although they produced Governors etc. Very possible this Mary Johnson a member of the Gov.'s family who removed to Carolinas, but I haven't any true clues. If anyone encounters information on Johnsons on Antigua or the Leewards during the period 1680=1740's please drop me a line....or if someone has access to Caribbeana and would be willing to do a lookup on the name Johnson for me a thousand thanks........ For my research I am reduced to tracking these micro clues to learn anything I can about the social and kinship connections of the Bible owner/recorders.... TIA Cod

I'm researching my great grandmother. Her name is Edith Coutain from Woban Grenada. Her daughter's name was either Jernina or Jermina Coutain.

Thank you Barb! No, I thought I'd done such a thorough search and guess I did not get that one. That fills in a bit more info, but I still have no idea who Araminta's father is. It is odd that she is listed as Araminta Standards, which is her mother's maiden name. No one (not even my family) seems to know of her father. She may have been an "out of wedlock" child, which in those days was a big "no-no"... I'm hoping to get more info when I return to Barbados next year. Thanks again!

I am currently researching my great grandmother and cannot find any information whatsoever with regards to her lineage. Her name is Araminta Bertha Standards, born in St. Joseph, Barbados on June 20th 1874. I have a document which states that her mother's name is Susan Catherine Standards, from St. Elizabeth, Barbados, but there is no father listed on Araminta's birth certificate. She married my great grandfather Edward Eyre Thomas Goodman, and I have much info on his side, in addition to all of her children, but have not been able to find a shred of info on Susan Catherine Standards or her spouse/boyfriend/partner, etc., who would have been Araminta's father. If anyone has any information with regards to this family from Barbados, I would love to obtain it. Thanks so much in advance, Allison Spooner

There are Hoytes in Trinidad.

I have a few Hoyte's from Barbados (this is the right island, correct?) who travelled to the States from Barbados in the early 1900s. Names are: Christina Maude, Edmund, Elise, and James. The years are 1913-1919 and their ages ranged from 17-49 years.

The Hoytes that migrated from Barbadoes are in all likely hood related to the Hoytes in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines as people move back and forth between the islands. I need to check with my mother-in-law because some of her aunts and uncles moved to the States at about this time, and I believe they went to Barbados to catch the ship. Still getting the information together. Thanks.

We had representatives of St Croix and St Thomas family groups at a meeting on Tortola last night to exchange information and assess interest in launching a (British) Virgin Islands Genealogical Society. As so many of our ancestors migrated to the USVI. the lady from St Thomas was particularly keen to acquire information on any accessible BVI census, registry and church records. I learnt from her that the Family History Library in Charlotte Amalie had moved to more spacious accommodation some time ago. The BVI government has not permitted the Mormons to microfilm our records, but the BVI National Archives, also much better housed than previously, has already acquired a range of microfilms, including slave records, and an Archivist was recently appointed to manage them. I recently joined him and the Chief Records Management Officer (my wife) on a fact-finding tour of the impressively-sited National Archives in Antigua, which incidentally holds (British) Virgin Islands records dating back to the time that we were governed from there. I was very conscious of Chris's recent appeal for help there, but we did not even have time to do any of our own research as Antigua's government buildings close early on Fridays. I did sound out the Director on Chris's concerns, but we could see how over-stretched her staff were. Recently-received government records were in a deplorable state. However, the Director told us that they usually send churches microfilms of registers they have deposited with her. I do hold a set of the Concise DNB (Dictionary of National Biography), updated to 1985 from the original edition published in England in 1903. It contains, for example, brief biographies of six Codringtons, although Chris probably already has much the same information on all those that interest him: Christopher (1668-1710), Sir Edward (1770-1851), Sir Henry John (1808-1877), Robert (d. 1665), Thomas (d. 1691?) and Sir William John (1804-1884) Peter Moll Tortola BVI (Researching my wife's Penns) -------- Original Message -------- Subject: RE: Codrington Family: Notice to Researchers Date: Thu, 1 Nov 2007 08:55:47 -0700 From: Ann Q <[email protected]> Reply-To: [email protected] To: <[email protected]> Chris, I have a brief listing in the "List of Inhabitants...."

Thanks Cheryl! but let me hasten to add before anyone else volunteers that any further projects of this kind would require funding, and probably also access to the original records to verify the transcripts etc. It probably is something that would need institutional support, to be done by grad students or something along those lines; it is not something that's going to happen in the near future! Apologies if I gave the impression that there was a firm project underway! Ernest M.

Hi Chris, ? Thanks for asking but not a lot to work with.? Was actually in Barbados from 29 October to 14 November 2007?as a result of my mum's passing. I visted the Registration section to acquire death?details for Martha and Mary Scantlebury. No?details could be traced for?Mary but?one was located for a?Martha Scantlebury of Josey Hill for 1956 (this is a possible lead and I?will try to?follow up on this one .....but her birthdate was indicated thereon as 1866 and the address mentioned thereon is Josey Hill, St. Lucy). However, the baptismal records at the Archives had indicated their births as 1877 with the address of Glendelough, which would be correct. I also visited the National Archives at Kew, trying to locate enlistment records for a Johnny Scantlebury or? Clarke this would have been my maternal grandmothers brother but this proved fruitless. Please advise how?can one check the Census records for Barbados? I will however continue the trace as?time permits. ?Thanks Cheryl -----Original Message----- From: C.M.

Folks, Does anyone have experience with researchers/research in Copenhagen? I am looking for someone who could look at (and translate) the probate record of Pieter Wood, married to Maria C. Wood (they were from St. Croix, I think, or at least owned land there). The record is dated 1813 6/1 and is on "P. 485" -- not sure what the page number indicates. What do probate records typically say? I found this reference at the ProGenealostis website in the St. Thomas & St. John Probate records index at http://www.progenealogists.com/westindies/ prob1717.htm TIA, Laura
